The Banaue
rice terraces in the Central Cordillera mountain range on the island of Luzon,
are often considered as the eighth wonder of the world. Over two thousand years
in the making, the Ifugao tribes people who created and farmed the terraces out
of necessity in order to plant their staple crop of rice have in doing so left
an engineering masterpiece. The fact that the terraces were constructed
utilizing only primitive tools and bare hands makes the terraces even more
astounding.

Now the
ingenuity of the natives can again be seen. With guidance and assistance
from the Bureau of Fishereis and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), farmers recently
converted several of the rice terraces into 'Fish terrace' in Itogon (45 minutes
from Baguio City) to augment their protein requirements. With water flowing down
from the Cordilleras, farmers are now able to raise tilapia even in these upland
territories.
